Archaeological evidence for Abraham and Moses

My understanding is that there presently does not exist any archaeological evidence for the existence of Abraham and Moses, although there is a bit for David. Is this correct?

Basically.

Indeed, your understanding is correct.

Certainly, The first house set up for the people is surely the one in Bakkah having blessings and guidance for all the worlds. (96)

In it there are clear signs: The Station of Abraham! And Whoever enters it is secure. As a right of Allah, it is obligatory on the people to perform Hajj (pilgrimage) of the House - on whoever has the ability to manage (his) way to it. If one disbelieves, then Allah is independant of all the worlds. (97) [Quran: Ch.3].

Yes you are right, there are none, though according to this:

It could be because Egypt does not record its crises... Anyhow, that is very very old and if there ever were remains it would have been decomposed or unrecognizable by now --- more so with Abraham.

There is non because it never really happened, not in a literal sense that is, and really all that matters is what the stories point to, nothing else.

Disparaging and subjective opinion.

When you see the prophecies cited in both Old Testament, and New, which agree, then you will know.

Meanwhile:
http://www.bibleandscience.com/archaeology/exodus.htm

"One of the most important discoveries that relate to the time of the Exodus is the Merneptah stele which dates to about 1210 BC. Merneptah, the king of Egypt, ..."

"Merneptah, the king of Egypt, boasts that he has destroyed his enemies in Canaan. He states: 'Plundered is the Canaan with every evil; Carried off is Ashkelon; seized upon is Gezer;
Yanoam is made as that which does not exist; Israel is laid waste, his seed is not';
(ANET 1969, 378).
The word "Israel" here is written in Egyptian with the determinative for people rather than land
(ANET 1969, 378 note 18).

This implies that Israel did not have a king or kingdom at this time.
This would be the time of the judges.
The text also implies that Israel was as strong as the other cities mentioned, and not just a small tribe."

All of this was highlighted not too long ago in a PBS special.

The Covenant's arc has the proof and any first temple artifacts.Between Ethiopia's claim and the yet unfulfilled original Ron Wyatt Golgotha escarpment witness humanity simply waits and requires inspired archeological work that Providence has suggested soon enough will irrevocably reveal Moses' book and the Ten laws and other 1st. century artifacts including the Mercy seat.Great wishes beyond contentiousness and protocol encumberment.Sincere people should only apply themselves with this work it being God's and only His and Trinity's.Take care and God bless the blessed!Absolutely no twisted parallels!

My previous post did not mean that defining the necessary archeological work being only God and Trinity's that it could ever preclude Islam and Judaism.Sad I had to clarify and ecumenical coalescence is crucial.Take care and God bless the blessed!Absolutely no twisted parallels!

Maybe if we get the Jews to get out the ark of the covenant there might be some fingerprints on the tablets.
